U11's keep a clean slate against Treharris

After a few weeks on the road it was good to be home and welcoming Treharris U11’s.  We had heavy rain overnight but the rain clouds broke and the sun shone down.  Oakdale won the toss and started the match.  It took a few minutes for the boys to settle down, they were attacking well but couldn’t cross the try line, James Williams grounded the ball but was just short.  Treharris kicked to gain some ground, Thomas Gregory chased the ball and passed to Dafydd Price who sped down the wing to start the scoring, try was converted by Thomas Gregory.   Ethan Walker took the ball from the tackle and was off, the teamwork was brilliant and once again Dafydd Price was on the wing and able to pass the defenders to score, try was converted by Oliver Cooke.  The ball was kicked from the restart, Thomas Gregory chased down, tackled the player, took the ball and scored, try was converted by Oliver Cooke.  It looked as through another try was coming, Gabriel Jones dodged the defence and sent a great offload to Oliver Cooke who dived over the line, unfortunately they were brought back for a foot in touch.  Treharris took the lineout and quickly advanced deep into the Oakdale half, good clean out in ruck area by Evan Evans allowed the hosts to win possessiion Thomas kicked down field, the hosts chased and won possession, Thomas passed to Oliver who was supporting on the wing, the pass was forward and the half time whistle blown.

The second half started with the Dale on the attack, they were using the width of the pitch and passing to create space, Dafydd Price showed his speed to pass three defenders and score his hat trick, conversion Oliver Cooke.  The Dale were not taking their foot off the gas, moving ball in hand up the pitch, Oliver weaved through a few defenders to claim the try which he converted.  It wasn’t long before Dafydd Price was again at the try line taking his tally to four.  Hudson Mathias had an excellent steal from the tackle, he passed to Thomas who kicked down field, it was chased by Oliver Cooke who scooped it up and weaved through the defence to score, conversion by Jensen Cook.   Hudson Mathias was again setting up a try, passing to Oliver Cooke on the wing to score his hat trick in the corner.   From a Treharris scrum the visitors moved into the hosts half, the defence was very strong forcing the ball into touch.  The ball was passed from the lineout to Logan Taylor, he worked his way through the defence he passed to Thomas, Treharris took a great interception, they were chased by Hudson who stole the ball and was soon dragging players to the try line, he was unsure whether to pass or plough on, he persisted and took the ball over the try line.  The teamwork on display today was pleasing to see and was providing great opportunities, Zac Tucker was gaining great ground, he looked to the left and saw Oliver in support on the wing, he passed out and Oliver took his try count to four.  The Dale were determined to keep a clean sheet, Zac Tucker was again making ground this time he was able to pass the defenders to claim the final try of the morning.

Excellent game of rugby from the boys.
